it should work fine if you have your links correct
e.g when you do ls webapps/mydir you shoudl see the contents of mydir
whether its a link or a directory. If the two look differnet then it wont
work.
try
cd webapps
ln -fsn ~userA/mydirA .
mind you I use Tomcat 3.2.1 so its possible something is different in your
version but t shoudlnt be.

Subject: Tomcat 4.0: Can webapps dir contain links?
Greetings,
I am trying to set up a Tomcat server to be used for some web development
classes. I would like to have each student have there own webapp, so that
in the webapp dir there would be a link to their public_html directory. In
Tomcat4B5, it seems as though tomcat will not follow a soft link to the
students home directory. If I make a new directory in webapps, it works
fine, but the link gives me a 403 application not available message.
If anyone has set up a system like this, I would greatly appreciate their
help
